Worked on the ethereum/go-ethereum repository over a three-month period, focusing on backend stability, code quality, and long-term maintainability. Addressed technical debt by upgrading build tools such as golangci-lint, modernizing lint configurations, and removing deprecated or unused code, all implemented in Go. Improved RPC handling by ensuring response bodies are closed exactly once, reducing the risk of panics and resource leaks in production and test environments. Additionally, cleaned up the API surface by removing obsolete methods from Web3ext, streamlining the codebase for downstream consumers. The work emphasized code refactoring, deprecation management, and robust testing practices without introducing new features.
